If you run a game related website or blog, submitting your news stories to N4G is
a great way to promote your site and gain new readers. We also recommend that you
take advantage of the N4G news tips feature. This way your own readers can recommend
your news stories to be featured on N4G. Each time one of your readers click on
the N4G news tips link or button on your site (Your readers do not have to sign
up at N4G to do this), your story will climb the N4G news tips chart. N4G send millions
of hits to game sites each month. Since N4G is a targeted game news site, the chance
of your stories hitting the front page is a lot higher compared to other social
news and bookmaking sites.
